For all the good food they serve, why is it that many restaurants serve cheap tomato ketchup? Margins, is the obvious answer and the fact that consumption can be pretty high if the ketchup is good. But considering that this is an important component of their entire service experience, why dont they serve good tomato ketchup? The food can be on the expensive side, so why doesnt it subsidise for good tomato ketchup? Why does ketchup have to be the garishly red-yellow, artificial, tasteless mess made out of kaddu(gourd)?
